How much would you lose?
How much would you give up?
Is it loss?
Is it sacrifice?
They are different.
They are the same.
To lose is to lose
To sacrifice is to give up
Something
Someone
Different
The same
Loss is forever gone
Sacrifice may not be
If you are strong
I kneel down
My heart bleeding
My soul weeping
I feel Him
Entering my fingers
Blinding my eyes
I forgive Him
I understand Him
I need Him
Answer my thoughts
Answer my prayers
We have but one chance
We have but one question
What have we done to the world
What have we done to each other
We have damaged
And broken one another
We feel the pain
We feel the woe
When will we understand
When will we accept
Something to be done
Not sure how to start
Pain we can endure
We are meant to face
Like it is meant to be
Like it is said to be
We must begin to see
Build through the damage
Rummage through the waste
We can make it
Things could get better
We could be better
All this endless hate
All this wasted energy
Imagine what it would be
If we made it be
Imagine what it could be
If we make it be
We need to achieve
We need to accomplish one thing
Unlike anything we have ever done
We need to make it be
What is it?
You will see…
Across my studies I came upon this concept. Forgetting all differences in religion and accepting what we all are(human), this seems to be the “right” definition of “God”.
“God is all” Pantheism “All is God”. It is the view that everything is God, and God is all. It states that the Universe, Nature and God are all equivalent. In other words natural law, existence and the universe is God. Interpreting the Bible, and peoples preconceived notions of reality can relate to this. When we see natures beauty and wrath, or stare up at the heavens, we see God. Believe what you will, Intelligent Design, Bible, Torah, Koran…it all fits. It is all one. The Universe and Earth are all in the same space. We are all in the same Life.
Our understanding of God is small. We know what we were taught. We know what we feel, and what we feel is Life. Somehow it all fits into a puzzle, Life and all. One connected maze leading us to the supreme reality, leading us to knowledge.
“A religion old or new, that stresses the magnificence of the Universe as revealed by modern science, might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by conventional faiths. Sooner or later such a religion will emerge”
-Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot (1994)
“Whatsoever is, is in God, and without God nothing can be, or be conceived. God is indwelling, and not the transient cause of all things”
-Baruch Spinoza
“I believe in Spinoza’s God who reveals Himself in orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with faits and actions of human beings”
-Albert Einstein
“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the “Universe”, a part limited in space and time. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest…a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty”
-Albert Einstein
Who would want to live a life without sadness? The ability to feel pain is what makes us alive.
Pity falls on one who can not feel sorrow, for without that depth of pain, one can not attain the height of happiness.
One must try to think
Understand
Appreciate
One must try to interpret
learn
Accept
One must try to Live
Love
Acknowledge
Infinite though,
coming to an end
One must experience Life
Purposeful
Enigmatic
One must complete the Mission
To learn…
And continue learning
Is it better to give up?
Throw in the towel and run the other way?
What if God hands you a crap hand?
Can you fold your cards and choose the hand to play?
I know People for whom Life has been generous with the misfortunes
Reeling in sorrow after sorrow, not letting there head crest above the water
I know of whom God has rested special interest in
seeing them reach their points and accept their limits
I want to know is it better to just give up…
Do we fight it…
Do we accept it…
Do we do something to fix it?
Why should we have to fix it?
Life should be what we make of it.
True.
But what of Life is there
If all there is is sadness?
